Okay didn’t like the fish had to give all the his scales away to get friends but it did humble him.
This book is a must have for any children’s (or adults!) shelf.
Great product great price
Wonderful book in great condition
Such a great book about sharing. My 2 year old grandchild likes to read it over and over.
This book is a family favorite. Every kid has one in their library, so I was glad they made it in board form so grandbaby could get hers sooner! Great humanity lesson for all ages.
I always love the story of the rainbow fish and thought this was a nice way to introduce it to young children who use board books as opposed to regular books whose pages will easily rep. Very satisfied with the purchase.
The Rainbow Fish is one of my older sister’s favorite books and now she bought a copy for her 1 year old. It’s a classic that can be enjoyed by all generations. The art is beautiful and the shiny scales are a nice added touch.
